Diagnostic and Preventative Services:

Our advanced technology of digital x-rays reduces radiation to minimum,
so that you should not be concerned of being exposed. We take digital
x-rays and intraoral photos of your mouth, so Dr. Gorin can have a
clear view of your current oral health. She'll review her findings with
you on one of our chairside monitors. The Dental Intraoral camera allows
Dr. Gorin to educate her patients with a close-up assessment of their
dental concerns, as well as the procedures required to correct them by providing
a dentist's eye view of the patient's teeth and mouth. For Dr. Gorin,
the intraoral camera is a great way to show patients how their mouth and teeth
change over time, while documenting teeth position and general wear and tear.
The intraoral camera is completely optional for patients that would rather not get the close-up view.

Restorative Procedures:

Inlays and Onlays are lab-made restorations that are placed on teeth when the cavity or lost
tooth structure is too large to be restored by a simple filling. The process of making an inlay
is very similar to a crown. After the tooth is prepared, it is cemented or bonded to the tooth.
There are different materials that inlays are made of, including gold, porcelain, and composite resins.
Porcelain and composite inlays and onlays are cosmetic alternatives to fillings and are very strong
compared to regular white fillings. Gold inlays and onlays are also suitable alternatives, but their
appearance makes them less popular.

Crowns, also known as caps, slide over teeth to hide misshaped, misaligned, discolored, or
other imperfections in teeth. Crowns cover and protect cracked teeth, increase comfort, and offer
extra support to those that are weak or damaged. If you have old crowns with black lines by the gums,
metal-free crowns can be made that will vastly improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Missing or severely damaged teeth make eating, drinking, and functioning on a daily basis very difficult.
Missing teeth can also be embarrassing in public or at work; this can cause a patient to hide their smile,
affecting them both emotionally and psychologically. Dr. Lana Gorin understands how inconvenient
a missing tooth can be for a patient. Our practice offers a number of tooth-replacement procedure options.
Dental implants and dental bridges help patients return to a normal lifestyle, enhancing their confidence
and restoring the overall function in their smile.

Dental implants are natural tooth-root forms which fuse to the jawbone becoming very similar to a natural
tooth's root. This artificial root or implant is placed by a specialized oral surgeon or
periodontics.
Once the artificial root fully secures to the bone, Dr. Gorin will create a custom crown, to replace
the missing tooth. This is crown, will be attached to the implant to provide the most natural-looking missing
tooth replacement. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or to
function as support for the replacement of all missing teeth. Dental implants are a great solution to single
missing tooth replacement when compared to other procedures because none of the surrounding teeth are touched.

Dr. Gorin believes there is no reason her patients should have to hide behind less-than-perfect teeth.
The doctor and our highly-skilled dental team, including a laboratory technician, specialize in natural looking
bridges to replace the missing tooth and often improve the appearance of the adjacent teeth. We strive to create
the smile that will boost your confidence and self-esteem. Dental bridges allow Dr. Gorin to fill missing-tooth
gaps with natural-looking, custom sculpted teeth to help correct speaking and chewing issues, and decrease excess
strain experienced when biting down. As bridges are permanent tooth replacements, they offer an effective
alternative to dental implant.

Smiles can have a profound effect on daily interactions and overall confidence, and Dr. Lana Gorin believes each of her patients deserves to make a great first impression. A recent study by the American Academy of Periodontology shows that Americans are seven times more likely to have a cosmetic dental enhancement than a face-lift. If you
are ready to say yes to a new smile, cosmetic dentist Dr. Gorin may recommend the ultimate transformation, a complete
smile makeover.
